Stay centered, cowboy.
Keep going!

[guitar music continues]
[crowd cheering]
[Announcer] Give it up, for Rowdy Mason,
the ten-year-old from Victoria, Texas.
What a ride, young man.
[music continues]
- Ready? - [Cody] Yeah.
[Joe] Keep your head toward me.
Pull.
Give me that.
[Joe] You stay flexible now, right?
It ́s not my first rodeo, Pops.
[Announcer] Our next rider,
Cody Wainwright from Edna, Texas
[Joe] Get up on the rope.
[Announcer] And if that name sounds familiar,
he ́s the grandson
of the legendary Joe Wainwright.
[Announcer] He ́s one tough little man, like his grandad,
[Announcer] So give it up for Cody Wainwright.
[Joe] Concentrate on the steer, not your mom.
Focus.
You got this.
Go.
Ride ́em Cody, ride ́em
[Joe] That ́s it. Yeah.
Ride him, Cody.
Come on.
[buzzer]
Let ́s go!
[Announcer] That ́s a heck of a ride, Cowboys and Cowgirls.
Cody Wainwright.
[crowd cheering]
[Joe] Oh.
[Cody] Taught me well, Pops.
[Joe] Oh, now you ́re just showing off.
[Cody] Come on.
[TV Commercial] PBR has turned Oklahoma
into the heart of bull country.
Tulsa has played host--
I bet if you entered that, you ́d whoop their asses.
Who taught you how to talk like that?
You.
Oh.
[Waitress] Two root beers. Good luck, Joe.
[Joe] Mmhm.
You know if you did ride, you ́d win.
[Reporter] I ́m here with Billy Hamilton,
reigning champion of the PBR.
What are your thoughts about the Legends event?
Or as we like to call it, "unfinished business".
[Billy] Well, as you all know, I ́m born and bred
here in Tulsa,
and I couldn ́t be happier
that they got the bid to host it this year.
[Reporter] Lots of competitive riders.
What separates you from the crowd?
[Billy] Well, I won it last year.
I see no reason why I can ́t win it again, of course.
I bet you could out-ride that Billy Hamilton.
He ́s good.
[Cody] Not as good as you.
Not as good as I was.
Not exactly riding bulls these days.
But if you did, you ́d whip his ass.
Language, son.
Come on, let ́s go to the game.
Don ́t wanna be late.
Mom doesn ́t want me to ride bulls.
No.
Well, I do.
I know.
You rode.
So I ́m gonna ride.
You make a lot more money on a diamond
than you do on a bull.
[Coach] Good hit, good hit, come on, now.
Come on, dig in.
[Umpire] You ́re out.
[Sal] Did I miss anything?
I was helping Doc operate on a mare.
Tim was late, again.
[Umpire] Strike one.
You still dating Tim?
[clears throat]
[Sal] You know, seeing him, not dating him.
And?
Too clingy, serious.
Hm.
Are you seeing anybody?
Yeah, I didn ́t think so.
Maybe you should refrain from giving me
some dating advice, huh?
Just looking out for my daughter.
[Sal] Uh-huh.
You know, I do see a very pretty woman over there.
Her name ́s Susie, she ́s giving you the eye.
Maybe you should go talk to her.
You don ́t want Cody riding bulls.
No, I don ́t, he could get hurt.
Why can ́t he make that decision himself
when he ́s old enough?
I don ́t want him riding bulls.
We ́ve already been through this,
please don ́t encourage him, all right?
Mmhm.
All right, Cody.
All right, bud.
[Cody] Oh! [Umpire] Foul!
- [Joe] Wait. - [Umpire] Time!
Wait.
[Sal] What happened?
[Joe] Looks like a ball bounced off the bat
and hit him under the ear.
[Umpire] You okay?
Get up.
Come on, get up.
[Umpire] You sure you ́re okay?
Fine.
[light applause]
[Sal] Okay.
All right.
[Joe] Here we go.
[Sal] All right, you got this, baby.
Come on!
[cheering]
Yes, yes, yes, baby!
Woo!
[Cody] I ́ll race you to the ridge.
[Sal] You can try. Let ́s go.
Let ́s go, keep up.
[triumphant music]
[Joe chuckling]
[Cody] Come on, slow poke.
- [Sal] Come on, - [Cody] That ́s not fair!
Come on!
Yah!
[Cody] You ́ll never catch me, Mom!
I ́m lightning fast.
[Joe] Go get her, Cody.
[Cody] Come on, mom, keep up.
[laughing]
[dramatic music]
[birds chirping]
[Sal] Never gets old.
[Joe] Never gets old.
[dramatic music]
He is a natural on a horse.
Yeah, he is.
[Joe] Mm-hmm.
And on a steer.
He loves it.
And he loves to compete.
You know what?
You ́re not hearing me.
I keep hearing the same thing over and over again.
[Sal] Pa, look, the point is,
you nearly killed yourself riding bulls,
and you wonder why I don ́t want my son
following in your footsteps.
[sighing]
[Cody] Mom?
Mom?
[horse whinny]
Mom?
[Sal] Cody?
Are you okay?
[Cody] I got dizzy and just threw up.
[Joe] Hey, let me see, okay.
[Cody] Pops, I ́m fine
[Joe] Let me see.
Well, you look alright.
How many fingers do I have up?
Zero.
He ́s all right.
I ́m gonna take him to the clinic.
[Cody] No, I ́m just--Mom. [Joe] Really?
[Sal] Let ́s--really, let ́s go.
[Cody] No, I don ́t-- [Sal] Son?
[Cody] Mom, I ́m-- [Sal] It ́s all right.
Come on, come on, come on.
[birds chirping]
[Joe] Oh boy.
[Radio Host] And now it’s time for KIOX FM weather.
Currently, it’s 72 degrees and sunny.
Tomorrow going down to 23 degrees
and getting up to a balmy 76.
So layer up, it’s going to be a roller coaster--
[Cowboy] What do I owe you?
[Joe] Two hundred.
[Cowboy] There you are.
Come on.
Take care, John.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
What?
Sal, Sal, Sal, slow down.
[dramatic music]
How ́s Cody?
[Doctor] He ́s with my nurse, he ́ll be right in with us.
All right, he just got hit in the head with a baseball.
I ́m sure it ́s just a concussion, right?
Yes, I ́m sure he did, Mr. Wainwright.
But I ́d like him to see a neurologist before we--
Neurologist?
It ́s just a concussion though, right?
He threw up, so--
[Doctor] Dizziness, balance, vomiting.
I ́ve been there a few times.
He has some weakness in his left hand, maybe nothing.
But Dr. Agre at Dallas Memorial is one of the best.
Okay, it ́s just a precaution, right?
[Doctor] Yes, but a doctor will get an MRI
and determine what ́s causing Cody ́s symptoms.
But I ́d get him there as soon as possible.
[dramatic music]
I ́m gonna be okay, Mom.
[Dr. Agre] Ms. Wainwright?
Dr. Agre.
I ́m Joe Wainwright, her dad, Cody ́s grandpa.
Thank you for coming down so early.
I know it was a long drive.
I rushed the MRI results so we could see
what exactly is causing Cody’s symptoms.
What ́s wrong with him?
One second, please.
[mouse clicking]
Doctor?
He has a glioma, he has a brain tumor.
I know this is incredibly difficult to hear.
If there ́s any minor, minor consolation,
we do specialize in these types of procedures.
He needs surgery.
[Joe] When? When would you do it?
Soon as possible.
That ́s not an answer.
[Dr. Agre] Well, that ́s the best I can do at this moment.
The prognosis, because of the location, is guarded.
Excuse me.
Makhar needs you stat.
Complication.
Thank you.
Excuse me, Mr. Wainwright.
Doctor, I ́m, I ́m sorry.
Believe me, I understand.
[phone ringing]
[somber music]
[Aide] Hello again, Ms. Wainwright.
So your insurance will only cover roughly 40%.
Are you going to be able to pay the difference
to bring the balance to full?
Can we put him on my benefits?
I ́m a veteran, so maybe that--
I ́m sorry, sir, that ́s not how it works.
Well, how much is left?
Could be 75,000 to 150,000.
Of course, we ́ll go through all the details
once we have a better idea of what we ́re looking at.
Now, it could be more, because this is a complex
and invasive surgery.
We can pay for it.
Are you sure?
Like I said, we can pay for it.
I ́ll get the financial responsibility forms
for you to sign.
You ́re very fortunate.
There was an opening and Dr. Agre was able
to schedule a procedure three days from now.
[Joe] Thank you. [Aide] Of course.
Okay.
OK.
I can ́t afford it.
I have no money.
There ́s no way.
I got loans.
We ́ll sell the house.
Oh, yeah, you have two mortgages.
You sold the land.
All right, look, I could-- I could sell the trailers,
the horses, the buckles, the saddles, and yours--
We ́ll figure it out.
- Sal? - Yeah.
We will because we have to.
Right.
I ́m gonna head home, get you some clothes and stuff.
Oh, bring Mama ́s clock.
[light music]
[bull bellowing]
[Announcer] Hello, everybody.
I wanna thank all you fine folks
for coming up to the Turley Prison Rodeo.
A little bit of the information here on all these girls.
If they ride that bull to the dinger,
then they will get to just go to the pay window.
So let ́s get a big hand today.
All right.
Okay, in chute number one.
We got Sweet Jeese James, here.
Come on, girl.
Now let ́s let her buck.
Come on, buck.
Come on, girl get in there.
Yeah. Okie-doo.
[buzzer]
That ́s what we like to see.
A big hand for Sweet Jeese James.
She ́s going to the pay window, folks.
[laughing]
[phone ringing]
[Announcer] Next up is Miss Mary Lou.
She ́s a Texas native...
[Charlie] Joe?
Joe?
Charlie.
It ́s been a long time, Joe.
[Announcer] no pay window today for Miss Mary Lou.
Yeah.
[Announcer] Clarissa J.
Joe, why ́d you call?
Where are you now, Charlie?
Well, right now I ́m volunteering
at the women ́s prison rodeo.
[Joe] Prison rodeo.
Well, I figure these girls could use all that bull I know.
[audience groans]
[Charlie] They need it more than I do these days.
Can you swing by my place?
Swing?
[Joe] Yeah.
Right away.
What is it?
I ́ll tell you when you get here.
I ́ll see what I can do.
[phone ringing]
[Jimmy] You ́ve reached Jimmy Mack.
I can ́t answer, so leave me a message
and maybe I ́ll get back to you.
[recording tone]
Hey, Jimmy, it ́s Joe Wainwright.
I ́m taking you up on that offer to ride the bulls
in the Legends Tournament.
I ́ll see you in Tulsa.
You got my number, call me if you need me.

[Charlie] That ́s not bad for an old fart.
You do this a lot.
Yeah, every day.
Why am I here?
[Joe] Let ́s go for a ride, I ́ll explain.
[Joe] And that ́s why I called you, Charlie.
[Charlie] What?
I damn near don ́t believe it, Joe.
So they ́re operating on him?
Yeah.
Listen Joe,
you were a good friend, but I...
I don ́t have much of any money at all.
Oh I don ́t want your money, Charlie.
I need your help.
With what then?
With what you do best.
[horse whinnies]
[Charlie] You crazy fool,
Hell, I ain ́t fought bulls since... you know when...
And how in the hell is that gonna help you and Cody?
[Joe] Well, PBR Legends Championship
is this weekend in Tulsa.
Okay.
They ́ve invited all past world champion riders
to go up against their 20 best riders.
Million dollar purse.
How else can I raise that kind of money for Cody’s surgery.
What?
[laughing]
Boy, I ain ́t had a laugh this big in a long while.
Woo!
And I sure needed it.
Ain ́t no way on God ́s green earth you riding in the PBR.
Come on, Joe.
You limp on your right leg.
I can tell by the way you ́re standing,
you got some pain in your back.
Your hands is old, your eyes probably bad,
and your mind is damn sure,
riding south.
Do I need to remind you what happened last time?
[Joe] No.
And you was a lot younger then.
Yeah.
Now, I know the situation you and Sally are in.
It ́s awful.
But that don ́t mean you go do something so damn asinine,
as to ride on a bull.
That ain ́t no tin bucking machine and you know it, Joe.
[Joe] He ́s my grandson, Charlie.
You got a better idea. I ́m all ears.
Yeah, but you could get yourself killed, you know that?
I know.
There ́s not time for it.
- No practice rides, nothing. - No.
Ah, this is just stupid.
You ́re gonna keep telling me how stupid I am
or are you gonna help me?
[sighs]
Ain ́t no sense in arguing with a
stubborn old goat like you.
No.
[sighs]
Well, I guess I ́ll grab my stuff then.
Well, you talking about leaving right now?
I ride in three days, Charlie.
I got to call my boss and ask for a week off.
Sha...
God, only you know what Agisa is gonna say.
Hey, Charlie.
Yeah?
We ́re road buddies again.
Yeah.
[birds chirping]
Howdy, Rose.
It ́s been a while.
I ́m awfully sorry I haven ́t visited you in some time.
I blame Joe.
He never did have a funeral or anything.
Didn ́t want anyone to lay you to rest, but him and me.
[birds chirping]
[groans]
[sighs]
[zips bag closed]
[door opens]
[door closes]
Well, I got the time off from UPS.
You could say, "Thank you, Charlie."
Thank you, Charlie.
[Charlie] They still give away trucks at this event?
[groans]
[Joe] Top three riders get one, I think.
Well, you win one you give to me, deal?
[Joe] Deal.
Well, I hope this truck moves better than you do.
[chuckles]
[engine revs]
[soft music]
[door opens and closes]
[Joe] Hey.
Hey, hey.
How ́s he doing?
He ́s fine, he ́s sleeping now.
Doesn ́t complain.
Sounds like someone I know.
Hope I brought you the right ones,
got you a little something to eat, too.
Oh yeah, they ́re fine.
Can ́t believe this is happening again.
Reliving a nightmare.
It ́s gonna be okay, you hear me?
This is gonna cost hundreds of thousands of dollars
and insurance isn ́t gonna cover it.
Look, I have an idea, but we have to act fast.
Charlie? Charlie?
Hey.
Hey there, Sal.
[chuckles]
[Sal] It is so good to see you.
Good to see you. It ́s been a while.
Yeah.
Listen, I ́m terribly sorry about Cody.
You know what, you ́re here, it ́s all that matters.
[Joe] Well, Charlie ́s here to help.
We think that maybe--
Well, no, no, we don ́t think anything.
The PBR Legends Championship ́s in Tulsa.
$750,000 for first place.
Well, they ́ve invited all former world champions
to compete if they want.
So what about it?
[laughing]
Oh, come on, y ́all, I don ́t have time for this
because I know you better than anyone else.
You do not have a sense of humor.
No, I don ́t.
No, but this is genuinely funny
because this is a joke.
This is a joke, right?
You ́re not kidding?
Have you lost your mind?
That ́s what I said.
Uh-uh, you don ́t talk.
You don ́t talk, just being here encourages him.
You kidding me?
Let me ask you a question.
Do you remember everything that you put all of us through
the last time you rode?
- [Joe] Yeah. - [Sal] No, no, no, but do you?
Because I don ́t think you do
because after Mama passed away,
you decided to get on a bull drunk and break your neck.
- [Sal] You remember that? - [Joe] Mm-hmm
How about when the doctor saved your life
and put a steel rod in that neck, huh?
He sent you home with so many painkillers
that your memory was about a shot at your neck.
And when you weren ́t on those painkillers,
you would scream at me to kill you.
- You remember that? - Yeah.
[Sal] How about when I was getting ready for prom
and I was wearing the dress that Mama had sewn for me
and what did I have to do instead?
I had to clean you, feed you, bathe you, walk you.
[sighs]
For what?
And for how long?
Long time.
Long time, yeah.
You see, you don ́t really remember that.
But I will not forget
one second, one minute, one week,
one month for your eight seconds of glory.
So this is very simple.
Are you hearing me?
This is very simple.
You will not get on that bull.
Well then, what are we gonna do about Cody?
I will figure it out.
But right now, I need you to leave.
I need you to leave before I throw you out.
You too, go.
I ́m gonna say goodbye to Cody first.
[Sal] Not one word of this to him. Do you understand me?
Do you unde-- neither, neither of you.
Not one word.
Yeah.
Well that went well.
Yeah, very.
Pops.
How you doing, buddy boy?
Good.
Hey you remember Charlie, right?
Yeah, of course I do.
Saw a video of you keeping that bull from tossing Pops.
You ́re the bullfighter, right?
That ́s right, put ́er there.
[Charlie] Howdy.
Wow, he ́s got a nice grip there, Joe.
He must ́ve got that from his Mama.
Mm-hmm.
How you feeling?
I ́m fine.
Headaches?
Not really.
You sure?
It just hurts a little, but I ́m okay.
Did your mom tell you what ́s going on?
Pops, I know what ́s going on.
It ́s the same thing that Grandma had.
[Joe] No, what Grandma had was different.
You ́re gonna be just fine, kiddo.
[Joe] Look, me and Charlie are gonna be gone
for a couple of days,
but we ́ll get back as quick as we can.
[Cody] Pops, I told you I ́ve got this.
Maybe I can FaceTime while you ́re gone?
Uh...
You can use mine.
I can put my number in it.
You know what, I ́d like that.
[Charlie] Better watch out now, Joe.
Got his number.
I can tell him all about how his gramps used to be.
No, you better not.
Come on, I wanna know.
No, later.
[Charlie] All right, Cody, look here.
Brought you something.
[Cody] Cool.
[Charlie] It looks good on you.
You got some checkers around here?
[Cody] I wish I did.
[Charlie] Yeah, we ́ll get some.
[dramatic music]
[Charlie] Well, she ́ll come around.
She ́s pretty hard-headed.
Yeah, but she ́s also right.
[Joe] Do I have a choice, Charlie?
[Charlie] Maybe not.
How else can I earn a lot of money real quick?
Well, I suppose you could rob a bank.
Give me your phone, I ́m gonna call her.
You might wanna give it some time.
Her baby boy is sick.
Only God knows what she ́s going through.
I hate when you ́re right.
Well, get used to it again.
[music continues]
[Charlie] Give me just a minute.
Are my eyes deceiving me?
Is this the one and only Joe Wainwright?
Oh.
Good to see you, Agisa.
Oh, it ́s been a long, long time.
Yeah.
[Agisa] I ́m so sorry to hear about Cody.
Said prayers to the Creator this morning.
Thank you.
I brought you something for the road.
My favorite.
I know.
[Agisa] It ́s so great to see you and Charlie together again.
[Agisa] I will never forget, nor will Charlie,
how you helped him get back on his feet
after that bull busted him up.
[Charlie] All right, you be a good girl now.
Oh, now you, you bring him back in one piece.
[Charlie] Yes, ma ́am.
This is delicious.
Agree, agree.
You ́re a lucky man.
Yeah, I am.
[car engine revving]
Joe.
Yeah.
Reach on top of that duffel.
I got something for you.
You left that on the ground after your last ride.
[Joe] Thank you, ma ́am, coffee ́s just fine.
What you looking at?
The riders you ́re up against.
[crowd cheering]
Mm.
Oof.
That ́ll leave a bruise.
Who ́s the best?
Well, there ́s Billy,
Cássio Dias, Ezekiel Mitchell, Chase Daugherty,
Eli Vastbinder, Silvano Alves.
All I wanna know is about the bulls.
Just don ́t get old bad-ass bull like Ring of Fire.
Now that I know.
You know, I don ́t see your name mentioned in the lineup.
I see two other rodeo champs.
Just an omission.
Joe, what ́s going on?
I need to call Jimmy Mack.
- About? - The omission.
The letter that he sent me with the invite, I tossed it.
So you never responded?
So now we ́re riding up here to see Jimmy Mack
to ask if he can kinda reinstate you.
Your words are not mine, but yeah.
But he owes me, big time.
I ́ma go wash up.
[sighs]
I haven ́t seen much of you in years.
And it hurt, you know that?
I ́m sorry, Charlie.
Well, I ́m not asking for anything.
Well, maybe I am, no, I am.
Every time I saw you, Charlie,
you reminded me that Rose was gone.
After you and I dug her grave together, I just--
You fell to pieces.
And I called you out,
cause that ́s what friends do.
Now when I told you, you have got to stop being so mad
at Him up there,
cause He ́s giving you more than most.
You just went silent, angry.
Is that what friends do?
Who helped me when my hand got mangled
and I couldn ́t bull ride anymore?
You gave me another shot as a bull fighter.
That ́s what friends do.
After you recovered from your surgery,
you didn ́t return my calls.
Just nothing.
I knew that you were going through tough times.
I reached out and I was patient for a long time.
Even though I was out of work myself
and I was in a very dark place,
I needed a friend.
I got so low.
If I hadn ́t finally just looked up
and found my faith, I don ́t believe I ́d have made it.
[sighs]
I was looking through some old photos after you called
and saw this video.
I wasn ́t sure if you ́d wanna see it or not.
It ́s your wedding to Rose.
Going to the men ́s room.
[sentimental music]
[horse whinny]
[sentimental music]
[Rose] Joe, we did it.
[sighs]
I haven ́t heard her voice in so long.
Thank you, Charlie.
[crickets chirping]
Yeah, I could get used to this.
Used to what?
Riding shotgun.
Oh, come on, you love driving.
Yeah, but I get to see the world
from a whole different perspective.
I can use some of that right about now.
So what exactly are you planning
to say to Jimmy Mack?
I ́m working on it.
Well, I could definitely use a new perspective.
I ́ll sit right here and pray for Cody, Sally.
might even get a snooze in, you drive all you want.
Oh, come on, you love trucks.
You drive a truck for UPS.
Heck, you drove the tank when we were deployed.
Now, that was fun, you got to admit that.
Yeah, it was.
[chuckles]
Except when we were being shot at
or driving over an IED.
[mimic explosion sound]
Amen. Now talking about battles not in Afghanistan,
you know how many wars
there’ve been over this here Red River?
No, but I ́m sure you ́re gonna tell me.
Well, only if you ask me nice.
Nice.
Well, now that we ́re in Oklahoma,
man there ́s been fighting between Texas folk
and fine citizens of this state for a long time.
Now, the one that caught my eye
is the battle of Upper Washita,
also known as the Battle of Lyman ́s Wagon Train.
September 1874.
[dramatic music]
Ooh, hot dog!
Man, that is a nice truck.
That ́s not why we ́re here.
Yeah, I know, I know that ́s not why we ́re here.
I ́m just saying, that ́s a nice truck.
Charlie.
- [Charlie] Yeah. - [Joe] Focus.
[Charlie] I am focused, on that truck.
[dramatic music]
[door closes]
[Charlie] You smell that?
[Joe] Smells the same.
[dramatic music]
[tractor runs]
[Jimmy] Joe, Charlie?
Joe Wainwright and Charlie Williams.
I must be dreaming right now.
Nope, this is really happening, Joe.
- [Jimmy] Good to see you, man. - [Joe] Hey Jimmy.
- [Jimmy] Charlie. - [Joe] Hey, Jimmy.
- [Jimmy] Uh-oh.
[Charlie] No, that hands all right. How you?
I ́m good, good to see you.
Wow, this is a treat.
[Jimmy] Get a little libation going, boys.
How long ́s it been now?
10 years?
It ́s been a while.
Oh no, I ́ll pass.
Joe, come on.
It ́s a cause of celebration.
All right, I ́m just gonna--
Attaboy.
[laughs]
Yeah, that ́s my pride and joy right there.
That ́s my King Air Turbo prop.
Best perk of my job.
Oh.
Have a seat.
All right.
You know I called you about two years ago.
We were out in Fort Worth,
and I figured I ́d get a little reunion together,
Scotty Benson, Lou Frog,
and a little wave to the crowd a little autograph action,
and good money, boys.
Good money.
All right, 1999.
- Colorado, you remember? - Oh yeah.
- Tyler Fowler had it won with an 88.5,
and you beat him with a 90.
Yeah, Joe did it on that damn Bodacious.
Bodacious indeed, what a bull.
152 riders bucked off,
only two made it to the golden eight seconds.
Them the days.
You know, I called you.
[Jimmy] Oh, yeah, see, now I ́m terrible with--
No, no, it ́s okay.
I called you to take you up on that invite to ride,
in this year ́s championships as a former champion.
You wanna what now?
I wanna ride.
Well, you ́re a little late, Joe.
I mean, why didn ́t you respond to my letters
like everyone else?
Nothing I could do at this point.
Everything ́s printed up,
the slots and the bulls are all allotted.
I thought you did whatever you wanted.
Nobody ever stood in your way.
Oh, I wish, not anymore.
I got a board, I got a network contract,
and they sign off on everything.
Well, as I understand it, Joe was invited.
It was just a technicality.
[Jimmy] Technicality?
Aren ́t you too old to get on a bull and ride?
I never thought you ́d say yes and show up.
I wanna ride, and I need you to make it happen,
and I want Charlie in the ring.
Why do you wanna do this?
You can get yourself crippled or worse,
and you, Charlie, you gonna be a bullfighter?
[Joe] It ́s personal.
I wouldn ́t ask if it wasn ́t important.
Hell, I don ́t wanna be out there.
Can you get us in or not?
The both of us.
Well, man, you gonna drink that?
Jimmy, who got you back on your feet
when you were in trouble?
[Joe] Who?
[Jimmy] I haven ́t forgotten what you did for me.
How you backed me when I went out on my own.
Okay.
You know you almost got me fired back when, right?
You were disruptive, you were fighting, you were drinking,
and when you ́d rode drunk and broke your neck,
I got the blame.
They said I coddled you.
They said I allowed you to do whatever,
gave you free range.
Is that why you won ́t help me?
No, I didn ́t say I wouldn ́t help you.
Come on, Jimmy, in English.
I said the boys upstairs need to sign off, Joe.
- Okay, then do it. - [phone ringing]
Come on, now, work your magic.
I only ask once.
I ́ll let you know what they say.
Jimmy.
Hello.
[Charlie whispers] Joe.
Joe, why don ́t you say--
It ́s none of Jimmy ́s business.
I don ́t want his sympathy.
I want a ride.
I ́ll call you back in five.
Come on, now, don ́t, don ́t, don ́t,
don ́t let Joe ́s past get in the way.
Don ́t make it personal.
I ́m not.
Now, I ́m older, but I am not dumber.
Now, this could be a really big deal.
Joe Wainwright, three-time world champ,
rides again for the big prize, and, and, and--
And what, Charlie?
Do the right thing, Jimmy.
Give Joe a ride.
And, and, and, and put me in there with him,
so I can be in the dirt for him.
[phone ringing]
[Joe] Cody.
[Charlie] Pops.
Can ́t believe you got FaceTime to work.
[Joe] Me too.
How you doing, kiddo?
Great.
I heard you ́re gonna ride in the competition.
[Joe] How ́d you hear that?
[Cody] Charlie told me.
Says it ́s a secret not to tell mom, but--
I did.
She doesn ́t seem too pleased about it.
I told you--
you ́d beat all the other riders
if you just got back up.
Well, I--
[Cody] You will.
I hope you ́re right.
I know I am.
[Joe] Look, could you ask your mom if she wants to talk to me?
Mom, it ́s Pops.
[Joe] Sal.
[clears throat]
[Joe] Sal.
When are you riding?
I don ́t know yet.
[Sal] What does that mean, are you riding or not?
We ́re working on it.
You ́re working on it?
[Joe] A little snafu.
[Sal] Huh?
Doctor ́s free. He wants to talk to you now.
Uh, I gotta go talk to the doctors.
I ́ll call you later.
Be right back, okay?
[phone vibrates]
Excuse me, are you Joe Wainwright?
Uh, yeah.
And you ́re Billy Hamilton.
You don ́t understand, Mr. Wainwright.
I worshiped you when I was younger.
Me and my dad, we came to see you
in Great Falls, Montana.
You rode that bull called Leprechaun.
Man, that was the meanest dang bull I ́d ever seen.
I swore to God I thought you were gonna die.
But you just hung on and rode until you won.
Well, I saw you on the television.
You ́re not so bad yourself.
Well, I ́ve had my share of successes.
I ́m riding tomorrow night.
Y ́all should definitely come out and watch.
No fighting, no drunken craziness,
you play by the rules.
You will have to sign the insurance waiver
and do all interviews that are required of you.
Ha.
[laughs]
You got this.
[Charlie] Yes, sir, Jimmy Mack.
[crickets chirping]
[Joe] Brand new oil filter, good as new.
[Charlie] This little truck
needs a lot of tender love and care.
You don ́t remember this place, do you?
[Joe] No.
[Charlie] Owasso Hill.
We were here.
́01 there about.
American finals.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, it was me, you, Rose, Agisa, Sal was so young.
Yeah, good days, Joe.
Real good.
[train passing]
[indistinct chatter]
You know, my grand folks are from Tulsa.
Really?
Yep, loved it here.
They had a hardware store and...
just scattered into the wind.
Huh.
Ladies, registration, uh, Joe Wainwright.
[Young lady] Joe Wainwright, let me see.
Okay, gotcha.
But we will need the actual rider
to come and sign the insurance forms.
Is he here or did he already go to locker--
That ́s Joe Wainwright.
My dad ́s such a big fan.
[laughs]
I ́m sorry, I just thought--
You didn ́t think they ́d let grandpas ride, now did you?
Well, me neither, but it ́s true.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Sorry about that.
It ́s alright.
Hey, the man, the myth, the legend shows up.
You know, I thought there was a strong possibility
you wouldn ́t show.
I thought to myself "Jimmy,
there ́s no way Joe is going to ride today."
Dang it, Joe, than I remembered you ́re Joe Wainwright.
Of course you ́re gonna show up.
Of course you ́re gonna give everyone something to watch.
Hey, I ́m really excited.
Really.
Charlie, you can be on the chute with Joe,
but not in the dirt.
I ́ll be in the dirt.
[laugh]
Good luck.
Hey, my locker.
[tv crowd cheering]
Joe?
Mr. Wainwright?
Billy?
What are you doing?
Getting ready.
Didn ́t you hear?
Joe Wainwright is riding.
Joe.
Cooper.
His name ain ́t even in the program.
How ́s he riding?
Yeah, what ́s the deal here?
It ́s a technicality, a mistake.
It ́s been fixed.
An old man like him shouldn ́t be riding.
He could die out there.
[Billy] Joe, I meant what I said last night.
You were a legend.
And if it wasn ́t for you,
I wouldn ́t have got into bull riding.
Huh.
But this ain ́t the senior circuit.
Billy, I meant what I said to you last night.
Good luck.
You ́re gonna need it.
What is that?
Chocolate milk?
[on TV] Matt West here.
It is time for the PBR Legends Championship
from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Three days of the world ́s best.
The stakes, $750,000 to the rider
that scores the most points.
Second place takes home 300 grand.
And of course, the top three all drive home
in a brand new Ford truck.
Perhaps the biggest news from this year ́s event
is the inclusion of rodeo legend, Joe Wainwright,
who ́s gonna compete for the first time in years.
The Texas native is the oldest competitor
in the history of the sport,
surpassing Ednei Caminhas,
who competed at 48 years old.
The question is, can the legend Joe Wainwright
keep up with our current champions? Not likely.
[Clint] Now, please rise for our national anthem
being performed by country music star, Lee Ann Womack.
♪ O! say can you see ♪
♪ By the dawn ́s early light ♪
♪ What so proudly we hailed ♪
♪ At the twilight ́s last gleaming ♪
[Preacher] Gracious Heavenly Father,
we have gathered here tonight
for fun, for entertainment, Lord.
But it is now that we ask
that you would just watch over our competitors tonight,
that you would give them safety.
We also thank you for our brothers and sisters
around the world who can ́t be here
because they ́re otherwise deployed or absent.
So we pray for them as well.
For it ́s in Your Holy Name we pray, amen.
[rock music]
[Matt] Ladies and gentlemen, welcome
to the PBR Legends Championship.
[Clint] Matt, it truly is the best
against the best of the best.
[Matt] We expect some thrills, some spills,
and some top-notch bull riding.
So sit back
and enjoy the roller coaster ride that awaits you.
[Clint] Ezekiel Mitchell makes eight.
[Matt] How about it for Brady Fielder.
Brady gets bucked off
and that is not gonna be a qualified ride.
[Clint] Wyatt Rogers.
Wyatt Rogers gets bucked off.
[Matt] The Pendleton Whiskey chute is where we are at
for the returning champion right here.
[Clint] Now with Cássio Dias and John Crimber
not competing due to injuries,
Billy Hamilton has to be the favorite to repeat as champion.
[Matt] I mean, this guy is an absolute superstar.
[Clint] He is firing on all eight cylinders.
[Matt] I think for a lot of the guys in the locker room,
they should be just, uh, fighting for second place.
Here we go!
[Clint] Cowboy up!
[Clint] How ́bout it, Tulsa!
What a great bull ride!
[Matt] A great ride by our local hero and champion.
[Clint] Hang on, this is just in here, folks.
There is an official ́s challenge.
They want to review this.
[Matt] It looks like Billy ́s freehand touched that bull.
Before the 8-second whistle.
[Clint] If so, he ́ll receive a no score for this ride.
[Matt] Now from this angle, it ́s not clear and convincing,
but that ́s why I ́m not a judge.
[Clint] But did it hit before eight seconds elapsed or after?
[Matt] That ́s exactly what they ́re
reviewing in the truck right now.
[Clint] From this angle,
he definitely hit the bull with his hand.
[Matt] I agree, but again, did it happen
before the clock hit eight seconds?
[Clint] And what a shocker it would be.
If this challenge is upheld,
it will be an uphill battle for
Billy to last here at the championship.
[Matt] And the judges have made their decision.
It is a qualified ride.
[Clint] Billy ́s hand did hit,
but after eight seconds had elapsed.
[Matt] Well, that ́s what a hundredth of a second
can show you.
[Clint] Well done, Billy Hamilton.
Whoo!
[Matt] Billy Hamilton picks up 87.5 points for his first ride,
a good one for sure.
That ́s going to put him in second,
behind Ezekial Mitchell.
Well, I ain ́t riding against Billy.
I ́m riding my bull.
[laughing]
Then, let ́s ride, boy.
Hey, um, Cody ́s out of surgery. He ́s okay.
What did Dr. Agre say?
Um...
That they couldn ́t get all of the tumor out.
And--so they have to bring another surgeon in to consult.
[Joe] When are they going back in, Sal?
Uh, day after tomorrow.
All right, get some rest.
And when Cody can talk, just call me.
It ́s just, um...
Uh, you know, they said that the procedure is delicate.
It ́s a delicate procedure--
[phone disconnects]
Hello?
Now, I know this is going to sound harsh,
but you got to put all this out of your mind
and focus, Joe.
Otherwise, you got no business getting on the bull.
[Matt] This is such an amazing thing to see.
Joe Wainwright competing at over 50 years young.
Nobody ́s seen him compete in 15 years
since back at the Arizona Special,
where he picked up a score of 89.5 points
right before that critical injury.
[Clint] Yeah, Matt, I was there when Joe broke his neck
ending his bull riding career.
It was a horrendous accident.
that would have killed ten ordinary men.
But Joe Wainwright is no ordinary man.
And it ́s very similar to what just happened
to two-time champion J.B. Mauney,
who has retired from bull riding.
[Matt] It kind of put me in mind of that fateful day
in Cheyenne with the great Lane Frost.--
Uh, no negotiation, Joe. You got to wear it.
How am I supposed to ride with this thing?
[Matt] We miss him, so...
[Clint] Yes, we do, Matt.
What a legacy.
[Matt] Without a doubt, I mean, it’s because of Lane Frost
- and guys like him-- - Happy?
Yeah.
[Charlie] Come on now. Don’t use the black rosin.
It leaves so much dirt on the rope.
Use the yellow rosin, here.
[Joe] I like the black
The yellow sticks better.
[Joe] But I ́ve always liked the black.
[Matt] Well, that ́s Charlie Williamson in the dirt.
Charlie ́s had a storied career as a bull rider
and then a bull fighter.
All right. You keep your chin tucked.
You keep your feet tucked.
No, hero bull, Joe. All right?
If you ain ́t feeling it, you get off.
- [Charlie] You hear me? - [Joe] Yeah.
Pull.
[Joe] All right.
[Clint] Well, it ́s great to see him back here
after all of these years.
But to be candid, no one over 50
has ever ridden in a PBR competition
and made eight seconds.
[Matt] Joe certainly doesn ́t look like an old-timer.
Today may be his lucky day.
[grunting]
[Clint] Absolute move for move.
[Matt] Get up. Get out. Let ́s go.
Come on, Joe. Get it.
[Clint] Jump for jump.
[Charlie] Come on, Joe. Get ́em.
Get ́em. Get ́em.
[Matt] Stay with him. Joe.
Stay with him.
Oh.
[Clint] Watch out, folks.
[Matt] You gotta be kidding me.
Eight, he got eight.
[Clint] He has done it!
[Matt] Ladies and gentlemen,
How bout it for Joe Wainwright!
[grunting]
[Matt] Wainwright ́s score is up.
85 points.
That sounds about right.
[Clint] That might be--
Not a great score.
[Matt] But, hey, let ́s give the legend a hand right here.
As we get ready to go down to the Kubota bucking chutes.
[Clint] This is gonna put Joe Wainwright fourth,
and Hamilton first.
Ezekiel Mitchell second.
And Silvano Alves is third.
It ́s been quite a night of bull riding.
[Matt] It ́s remarkable that Joe is that high in the standings.
But--
Hey. Don ́t be moving my gear.
Knock it off.
[Matt] Ouch.
This is gonna hurt for Joe.
Looks like his knee was stepped on.
He ́ll have to pretty much be perfect
from here on out to even stand a chance.
Take a deep breath.
[Matt] And it ́s not a surprise that leading at the moment
is Billy Hamilton.
[Medic] Mr. Williams, you ́re gonna have to
lay off for a while.
You got a major contusion back here.
Wouldn ́t happen to be a diabetic, would you, Hoss?
Yes, sir.
[Medic] You actually taking your meds?
Yeah.
[Medic] All right.
You need to stay off your feet.
Thanks, Doc, but I ́m good.
[Medic] As for you, Mr. Wainwright?
I ́m fine.
No, get on the table.
Let ́s go.
[grunting]
- [Medic] Sit down. - [Joe] Yep.
[sighs]
Let ́s see what we ́re looking at.
[sighs]
All right, does it hurt when I do this?
[grunts]
Well, these things don ́t heal quickly when you ́re young.
They sure as hell ain ́t gonna heal quickly at your age.
[chuckles]
You feel anything here?
Nope.
[Medic] How about when I do this?
Nope.
When was the last time you had sensation in your leg?
About 10 years.
[sighs]
You got some nerve impairment going on, man.
We need to get an MRI.
Look, this should be the end of your bull riding for now.
I gotta commend y ́all on your guts.
I ́m not gonna say what you got in the brains department.
Not that that is atypical for a bull rider, now, is it?
Just tape me up, Doc.
[sighs]
All right.
[chuckles]
[Joe] The hell are you laughing at?
Boy what a pair we make.
Yeah.
[grunts]
[sighs]
[grunts]
I feel better now.
[Joe] Thanks, Doc.
[indistinct chatter]
Hey, like I told you,
might be wise to quit while you ́re still upright.
You don ́t want to fall and get a broke hip, do you, Joe?
You got a problem with me, kid?
I ́m just busting your balls, old-timer.
Did you hear that, Charlie?
- Yeah, I did. - What is that?
Well, I think that ́s fear.
I think you ́re right.
Yeah. See, now he knows you ́re afraid of him.
- I ́m just shaking in my boots. - Uh-huh.
Joe, tough night.
Well, you doing this--
Is good for business, right?
Yeah, it ́s just-- it was commendable, Joe.
The medic told me there ́s nerve damage to your knee,
and you won ́t be able to compete.
Maybe I entice you to stick around
and make a little cash?
Believe me, I will spin this in
the most positive way for you.
You ́ll be remembered as a hero.
We ́re not done, Jimmy.
We ́ll be back tomorrow for round two.
Wait. Joe, you can ́t possibly--
I ́m not quitting, Jimmy.
Oh, well, this is gonna be big.
[Jimmy] Tear it up, Joe.
Folks, that ́s a genuine true legend right there!
That ́s Joe Wainwright--Come on.
[people cheering]
Diabetes?
Yeah, that ́s why I had to give up a lot.
Yeah, you went dark before the ride today.
I can ́t stop thinking about Cody and Sal.
Well, that ́s not a surprise,
but you cannot ride if you ́re not laser-focused.
She ́s just so angry at me.
Well, she ́s angry at the world, like you.
Huh.
You know, it might not be my place to say this.
Then don ́t.
Well, now I will.
You ever think about how similar you and Sally are?
Well, I have a feeling you ́re gonna tell me,
so get on with it.
You remember when Sally was just a child
and she started riding with the junior barrel racers.
Of course. You lag first.
And then one day early on, she fell off her horse,
and what ́d she do?
Then she ́d get right back up.
And what else?
She fell off a few more times and kept getting back up.
Yeah, she did, didn ́t she?
Mm-hmm.
You didn ́t say a word, but you was proud of her.
Of course.
And she got in a fight
with that girl she was always competing with.
Well, she decked that girl?
Sal always had a good right.
That ́s true. And you called her Sal.
Well, no, I mean, I think she called herself Sal.
Yeah, well, I could use a real stiff drink right now.
It ain ́t easy talking to you, Joe.
[chuckles]
[soft music]
She never wanted to disappoint you, Joe.
But I think somehow she always felt she did.
I ́m not sure why, but that ́s the way it felt to me.
What, are you some kind of amateur shrink now?
No, no, no, no. Now, Agisa.
Now, she ́s the psychologist in the family,
but I do pay attention.
I think I could use that bourbon myself.
Now, hold on now.
You just drank that little root beer
you got sitting over there.
Uh-huh.
And, Joe, be patient with her.
She loves you fiercely.
Hmm.
[soft music]
Scratch, hee-hee!
Boy, you can ́t do nothing with this table.
[crowd cheering]
[Clint] Welcome back to the PBR Legends Championship,
and the moment we’ve all been waiting for.
[crowd cheering]
[Charlie] Joe, use the yellow.
[Clint]...reads just like a great novel...
Black.
Pull!
[grunts]
[Matt] After that sweet spot.
[grunts]
[Clint] White Dragon, here they go.
[indistinct chatter]
Come on, grab it up, grab it up, grab it up!
[gate crashes]
Oh!
[crowd reacts]
- [Charlie] Joe, you okay? - I ́m okay.
[Charlie] Yeah, you don ́t look okay.
You look like you just got slammed against the fence.
I ́m fine, I ́m fine.
[Matt] Ooh, that hurt.
[Clint] Not as much as a no score.
This may be the end of Joe ́s shot
at placing in the top three.
[Matt] Or finishing the competition
because Father Time shows no mercy.
[Joe] Come on, you saw that.
That ́s gotta be a re-ride.
[Judge] Leave it be, Joe.
He slammed me against the chute
and you darn well know it.
I said leave it be.
[Joe] Come on! It ́s a re-ride, you darn well know it is.
[Judge] Hey!
It ́s gotta be a re-ride.
[Clint] Well, hold on a second. There will be one more ride,
and it will be a re-ride for Joe Wainwright.
[Matt] You ́re right, it ́s official. It is a re-ride,
but he ́s gonna have to get medically cleared first.
[Clint] Well, one thing is very clear.
Billy Hamilton is not shying away from this competition.
[Medic] We ́re gonna have to get a picture of these ribs.
No, you don ́t. We don ́t have time.
I ́ll miss my re-ride, just clear me.
- I gotta do my job, Joe. - They ́re busted.
Now you ́ve done your job. If you don ́t clear me now,
I don ́t ride. I have to ride. Just clear me.
[grunts]
I ́ll confer with the Doc. Get him tight.
[Matt] ...who may give Billy a run for the money
is of course Silvano Alves,
who is showing no signs of slowing down.
[Matt] This is gonna be a big ride for Billy Hamilton.
Here we go! Billy Hamilton!
[Clint] Come on, champ!
Let ́s do it! Let ́s do it! Easy, easy, easy!
- Come on! - Come on!
He goes!
[Matt] There it is!
[Clint] Oh, Tulsa...
The champ is back!
[Matt] So the standings right now are
Billy Hamilton in first,
Ezekiel Mitchell in a close second,
Just a sec.
[Clint] Hold on...
I ́m fine.
- [Charlie] Of course you are. - [Clint] Yep. Here it is.
Medical has cleared Joe,
and that means he is riding the eliminator bull,
the infamous Tiny Tim.
[Matt] Yeah, I don ́t know who ́s meaner
Tiny Tim or Joe Wainwright.
If Joe can hang on,
It ́s straight to the pay window
and a possible leaderboard change.
And for the folks who don ́t know,
the tougher the bull, the higher the score.
These names are drawn at random with these bulls.
That, my friend, is the luck of the draw.
[Matt] Warming it up inside that bucking chute right now
as we continue this Legends Championship.
Let ́s go to a legend in Joe Wainwright.
[Clint] Joe Wainwright from Texas.
Trying to do something
at his age that ́s never been done before.
Come on. Focus, Joe.
- You hear me, focus. - I ́m trying. I ́m trying.
[laughing]
Finally, listened to the wise one.
Nu-uh, Joe, now there ́s crazy and then there ́s stupid.
I ́m grandfathered in, right?
You right about that grandad part.
This is me enjoying myself.
Yeah, well, see, acting like a dang fool.
Pull.
All right, now we ́re going to pull it now.
[Charlie] Give me a big nod.
[Matt] He ́s actually grandfathered in.
He was born before 1993,
so he ́s old enough to decide if he wants to ride
in a helmet or a cowboy hat.
[Clint] Joe is focused
on winning the biggest prize of the year.
[Matt] This matchup is about to be high voltage,
and I can promise you one thing.
This man is fearless.
[Clint] Well, will the Cinderella story continue here?
Tiny Tim and Wainwright.
Here we go!
Yah!
Come on, Joe!
[Charlie] Come on, squeeze, squeeze man!
[Clint] Keep going, keep going!
Get it!
He got it!
Way to go old man.
[Matt] Ladies and gentlemen, we just witnessed history
as Joe Wainwright puts up an 88.5.
And if my math is right,
he ́s in first place for gosh sake.
[Clint] Hey, listen, he is.
Legend Joe Wainwright is leading the competition.
Oh, yeah.
[Clint] Who would have ever thought that that was possible?
- That was a good ride. - Yeah.
I ́m telling y ́all, Billy and Joe. Billy and Joe,
[Charlie] Yeah well, I miss you too.
Yeah, we ́ll be home real soon.
Hold on a second.
I ́m gonna have to call you right back.
Look, you ́re gonna wanna take this.
- Thanks, Charlie. - Yes, sir.
Cody, hold on a second.
Hey, can you hear me?
Hey, buddy.
Pops, I saw you ride.
Mom showed it to me on YouTube.
You ́re in first place.
What did I tell you?
You told me to ride.
First place?
All right, all right.
He ́s very proud of you.
How ́s he doing?
You know, he ́s, uh, he ́s hurting.
[Sal] Painkillers are wearing off.
Well, give him some more.
Nurses are gonna make their rounds.
He ́ll get some.
What time is his operation tomorrow?
Around 10 a.m.
What ́s the doc saying?
[Sal] Why don ́t you just rest, relax a bit , okay?
I ́m gonna talk to your Pops, and, uh,
Agisa is right here, okay?
I ́ll be right back.
So, uh, where it ́s located is a little tricky.
What does that mean?
Well, they need to remove all of it
because there ́s a chance that, uh...
Just tell me, Sal.
[sigh]
It could lead to, uh, paralysis, speech loss,
and brain impairment.
So, uh, uh, that ́s Cody ́s nurse. I gotta go.
Sal, just--
Hey, old timer. Good ride.
- Ah! - You ́re in my seat.
Hi.
- I don ́t see your name on it. - Huh.
Get up, Marco.
I only ask once.
[Charlie] Mm-mm.
[grunting]
[Billy] Hey, guys, guys!
[grunting]
[Charlie] Watch it, watch it, watch it!
Up you go!
Down you go!
[laughs]
[sirens blaring]
[indistict chatter]
[footsteps approaching]
[Jimmy] Make it work better this time.
Just want to keep the conversation going, okay?
Excuse me.
What ́d I tell you?
I said, no fighting, among other things,
and what do you do?
You beat up the number one rider on that competition.
Number two.
Joe, have you lost your wits?
If the police press charges,
there ́s no way you ́re gonna ride.
I need to ride.
Well, even if they don ́t press charges,
the commissioner ́s gotta give you the okay.
- I ́m riding. - Joe--
- Jimmy, - Tell me--
Come here.
Tell me what the hell is up with him?
Wait.
Why did he even bother to come back
if he ́s just gonna screw everything up?
His grandson ́s got a brain tumor.
Oh, no.
That ́s why he ́s here, Jimmy.
Not glory.
Not the news.
The boy ́s being operated on tomorrow,
and he ́s got to earn money
because insurance won ́t cover it all,
so, yeah, he ́s a little touchy.
And you knew his wife, Rose.
She died from the same kind of tumor.
Get him his last ride, Jimmy.
It ́s out of my hands now,
it ́s a local police matter,
and it can be very slow and onry.
[Charlie] Yeah well, work your magic.
You keep telling me that, Charlie.
Well, you keep pulling the rabbit out your hat.
[chuckles]
Yeah, I bet you would ́ve been a great juggler
in the circus.
I need to get to the hospital.
I need to be there for Cody and his operation,
and I...
I don ́t have a good feeling about this.
- Why? - Why?
I ́ll tell you why.
All that crap you ́ve been feeding me about Him
giving me more than most.
He also takes it away, too, doesn ́t He?
My wife, my career, now maybe my grandson,
so you can preach to me all you want, Charlie,
but you don ́t really know what I ́m feeling.
You have no idea how--
What, how angry you are?
Maybe I do.
Jimmy ́s got an airplane.
I need a favor.
I think I ́m out of favors to give.
I need to see my grandson.
You ́ve got a plane, and I need to borrow it.
It ́s near midnight, Joe.
[Joe] He ́s having an operation in the morning.
I know.
[dramatic music]
[Jimmy] Hey, Mike. Sorry for the hour.
What ́s the earliest we can get a flight plan to Dallas?
Thank you, sir.
[dramatic music]
Was Grandma a better rider than you?
Ha.
Uh, she ́s was great rider.
Faster?
No.
I wish I could ́ve met her.
Me too.
What was she like?
She would ́ve spoiled your rotten.
Yeah, but she was tough, you know?
Uh, she didn ́t believe in being sloppy.
There were no excuses.
Mm-mm.
Never could have any excuses.
[laughs]
[sniffles]
She would ́ve loved you.
God, she would ́ve loved you.
Well, this is a nice way to travel.
[sighs]
[Matt] We ́ve got some incredible news coming out
of the PBR Legends Championship in Tulsa.
[Clint] It was reported to us just mere moments ago
that Joe Wainwright ́s grandson, Cody Wainwright,
from Edna, Texas, is suffering from a brain tumor
and is gonna require an extensive surgery.
Our sources have told us that Joe and his fam--
How did Jimmy Mack know the details to Cody ́s surgery?
That ́s why Jimmy gave you his airplane.
This is my personal business.
Well, Jimmy Mack started a GoFundMe page
to raise money for Cody ́s operation.
No, no, no, no, no.
The second operation ́s gonna cost what?
$150,000, $250,000?
I don ́t want strangers ́ help.
It ́s for Cody. Good night, blue cheese.
Joe, it ain ́t about you.
[clock ticking]
This is one loud clock.
Yeah, it was my Mama ́s.
Still a loud clock.
Yeah, when I was little, I had strep.
I was having a hard time falling asleep,
and so she came in with that clock,
put it by my bed, got in bed with me,
and she told me that the rhythm of the ticking
was soothing to her,
and that it might be soothing to me as well.
She was right.
I felt better the next morning.
It ́s really loud.
[laughing]
Yeah, it ́s only reminding me
of how long this surgery ́s taking.
My mom always said time is a conceit, a Western notion.
How so?
Well, Charlie and Joe spent much of their lives
trying to last eight seconds on a bull,
and that seemed like an eternity.
And then when I was in school,
it seemed like that clock would never make it to 3 p.m.
when we got let out.
That seemed like an eternity.
And then when my mom died,
it just seemed like her life went by so quickly.
It didn ́t, her life.
[clock ticking]
It really is loud, isn ́t it?
Mmm.
Hey, you got a question for Him?
No, not again.
Come on, tell me when.
Tell me when to stop.
[sighs]
When.
All right.
"He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak."
You happy now?
[soft piano music]
Hey, I didn ́t know-- what are you doing here?
I was worried about Cody and you.
How ́s the operation going?
Ah, Dr. Agre said that, you know,
he would let us know once he knows more
after the procedure, but...
it ́s what they ́re not saying that ́s freaking me out.
Sal?
I ́ve made a lot of mistakes,
and I couldn ́t figure out why I kept making them.
You know, I couldn ́t figure out
why I just couldn ́t seem to find my footing.
I haven ́t even finished high school yet.
How could you? You were busy saving my sorry ass.
I ran the circuits, the competition circuits.
I mean, I was running barrels when I was pregnant with Cody.
- What was I thinking? - That ́s enough.
I ́ve realized that I can ́t keep blaming you for
what I haven ́t experienced,
what I haven ́t done, who I haven ́t become.
I just gotta let go and move forward.
[Joe] Look, what I put you through,
no kid should have to go through.
You were right.
I dragged you and Mom all over the country.
And when she was gone,
who was there to nurse me back to shape?
And never complain.
If he gets through this, everything will work out.
And you and I will have a chance to get on with it.
Get on with it?
What?
Did you just say, "Get on with it."
[laughs]
You know, when you were in the ICU,
you were hopped-up on morphine,
and you looked at me and you said, "She ́s here."
And I said, "No, Mom ́s gone."
And you said, "No, honey.
She is here in this room,
and she ́s told us to get on with it."
And it made you smile.
And you just said it, and that ́s what I ́ve been saying.
Well, Mom always did give great advice.
She did.
How ́d y ́all get here anyway?
We stole Jimmy Mack ́s plane.
So you gonna ride tonight?
You want me to?
Are you gonna win?
[thunder rumbling]
[phone ringing]
Jimmy Mack, any word?
Guess what? You ́re riding.
That ́s great.
Uh, you ́re welcome.
[Charlie] Thanks, Jimmy.
We ́re on a weather hold here in Dallas.
[Jimmy] Let me know when you take off.
Never a dull moment.
Yeah, we got to get out of here.
No news yet,
but I ́ll get some updates as soon as possible.
[Matt] And it ́s official.
Billy Hamilton will ride,
and Joe Wainwright will follow.
[Clint] Don ́t forget, Billy Hamilton needs to beat
88.5 points to regain that first place lead.
[thunder rumbling]
[lightning crackling]
[Pilot] The good news is we ́re clear to land in Tulsa.
The bad news is
you may feel like you ́re on a bucking bull.
He ́s a good pilot, but he’s dang sure ain ́t no comedian.
Joe.
I gotta do something. I don ́t do it very often.
I ́m sorry.
Well, Billy,
so am I.
If I would ́ve known,
I never would ́ve behaved the way I did.
You better get out there and ride like the wind,
because I plan on whooping your ass.
Show me what you got.
[rock music]
[Jimmy] And now, it ́s time.
The moment you ́ve all been waiting for.
The draw for the championship round.
[crowd cheering]
[Matt] And Jimmy Mack, it is time for the
PBR Legends Championship Round draw.
Silvano Alves will reach in
to find out what his bull will be.
[Clint] Moonlight Party for the three-time champ,
Silvano Alves.
[Matt] Former rookie of the year,
Eli Vastbinder now makes his selection.
[Clint] Vastbinder from North Carolina will have Fritz Roy.
[Matt] We ́ll go now to Ezekiel Mitchell.
Ezekiel will have
[Clint] Wild Thing, will be the bull for Ezekiel Mitchell
in this championship round.
That means there are only two bulls left.
One is Loco Loco
and the unridden 34 and 0 fire-breathing dragon,
Ring of Fire.
I want Ring of Fire.
[Clint] So, the three-time champ,
will have Ring of Fire.
that means, that the returning champion,
Billy Hamilton, will have Loco Loco.
[Clint] And he ́s calling for it. Here we go.
Come on, Zeke, get em.
Get it Zek!
[buzzer]
[Matt] Ezekiel Mitchell remains on top the leaderboard for now.
[Clint] How about Callum Miller?
[Matt] Callum Miller does not make 8, so he ́s out.
[Clint] Here we go!
Eli Vastbinder. Come on, Eli!
[buzzer]
That will take Eli out of contention.
[Matt] Now that Ezekiel Mitchell
has made his stand and remains in contention
It ́s up to our last two riders,
Billy Hamilton and current leader, Joe Wainwright.
[Clint] Billy Hamilton needs a score of 89.5
to regain the lead.
Can he do it? We ́ll find out shortly.
[Clint] So, here we go. It ́s the hometown hero,
Billy Hamilton.
[Clint] Look at this bull buck.
Going to work! The kick! The spin!
Right smack dab in the middle. And here we go.
[Clint] He is one with that bull.
[Matt] And he made it.
[Clint] This is epic.
[Matt] That has to be a 90 point ride.
[Clint] I think you ́re spot on.
What a bull ride!
and what a way to set himself up
for being the champ once more.
[Matt] And it’s official.
91.5.
He is number one now and you cannot dispute that.
Joe Wainwright needs 91 points
to take first place away from Billy Hamilton.
[Clint] If he does, history will be made.
And in this case, the prize money
will go to the best of all places;
his grandson’s operation.
Alright, let ́s ride!
[determined music]
[Matt] Ladies and gentlemen, would you join us
for a moment of silence and prayer
for Joe Wainwright ́s grandson Cody.
[gentle interlude]
[arena silent]
[Matt] Thank you.
[Clint] And back at the PBR Legends Championship.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the moment
that we have all been waiting for.
[Matt] Joe Wainwright needs a ride of 91 to finish first.
I don ́t need to tell any of you all fans,
that would be the ride of a lifetime.
[Clint] And for a man that has had such a storied career,
[Matt] My question is,
does this story have a fairytale ending?
Can Joe Wainwright do the unimaginable?
[Clint] $750,000 on the line
at the PBR Legends Championship.
[Matt] But more important than money,
the legacy of an absolute legend,
Joe Wainwright and Ring of Fire.
[Clint] The final one.
Will the Cinderella story be written
for the three time champ?
Here we go!
[crowd cheers]
[Clint] Come on Joe, Keep going Joe.
Get him! Get him! Get him! Get him!
[Charlie] Ride up! Ride up! Ride up!
Come on now!
[electric guiter playing]
Ride up Joe! Ride up!
[buzzer]
[crowd cheers]
Aww!
[Charlie] Joe! Joe!
Hey, Joe. Joe, come on.
Hey, hey, Joe. Come on now.
[Matt] Ladies and gentlemen,
right now we ́re just going to give all the time
that our medical team needs to assess the situation.
[Charlie] Joe. Joe.
[Joe] Aww
Oh, thank God. You ́re alright.
[Clint] Well, that ́s good news.
It appears that Joe has waved off the EMTs.
[Matt] Let ́s give him some time to get himself together.
[Jimmy] Joe, Joe, Is he alright? Is he okay?
Joe. Joe. Talk to me, Joe.
Joe, you okay?
Did I make eight seconds?
Yeah, you did. You got eight.
[Joe] Then I ́m okay.
Roll me over...
What?
Roll me over, Charlie.
[groaning]
I can ́t find her.
I can ́t see her, Charlie.
[gentle music]
[Joe] We did it, Rose. We did it for Cody.
Miss Wainwright.
Yes, sir.
[Charlie] This is the nicest gift you ever gave me,
Joseph Wainwright.
[laughter]
Come on now, Grandpa. We running late.
[Joe] Uh-huh.
[laughter]
[crowd cheering and clapping]
All right, Cody. Let ́s go. Let ́s go.
Right out of the park. Right out of the park.
[Sal] Yeah, Cody. Yes.
[crowd cheering and clapping]
[country music]
Look at Cody.
[Charlie] Now, how lucky were we
that the operation was so successful?
It ́s like a miracle.
Well, if that ́s not a miracle, what is?
- [Cody] Come on, Pops. - Yeah, yeah.
[Reporter] I understand you donated money to
Cody Wainwright ́s GoFundMe page.
[Billy] Me and the boys, we all chipped in.
We ́re all so delighted that Cody has recovered so well.
[Reporter] And Joe Wainwright gave the excess
donations to the Children ́s Hospital.
[Billy] He sure did the right thing there.
What are your thoughts on next year ́s championship finals?
Well, it ́d be great if Joe Wainwright could ride again.
90 was quite a ride, but not good enough.
Joe can take that second place and the 300,000 anytime.
As long as I get that 750 for winning,
Hell, it ́d be fun to beat him again.
It ́s your move, Pops.
Care to dance?
Excuse me.
- Hey, Dad. - Dad?
Yeah, I like saying that. Dad.
I like hearing it.
- Dad. - Yeah.
Thank you.
